by Liz

Fighting fractions by moonlight
Challenging teachers by daylight
Reading Shakespeare at midnight
She is the one named Sailor Pi

She would never forget a math operation
Or the rules of heat condensation
Pi is the symbol for a new generation
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one named Sailor Pi
She is the one
Sailor Pi!

"Excited for the math fair, Hanni?" Though Bizzie knew everything there was to know about pi, Hanni was the one known for being good at math."

"Yep, but I don't think I'm going to enter this year," she replied, "You'll surely win with your pi presentation."

"What are you planning to do, Biz?" asked Kenny.

"You'll see," she said with a wink. Jeffy's eyes got very wide.

"Bizzie, not here, not now!" he exclaimed.

"Of course not here and not now," she said, "If I told you, it wouldn't be a surprise!"

"Oh, come on, I don't like surprises! What's Mark always saying, 'no time like now?'"

"I think that's 'No day but today,' Jeff," Hanni told him. For some reason unknown to the rest of them, Jeffy burst out laughing.

Seeing how Bizzie was completely clueless, Kenny changed the subject.

"So, Bizzie, if you win, will you finally reveal your last name?"

"Mebbe," she replied, "But probably not. You can never be too careful, you know."

"But you never even told us where you live!" exclaimed Jeffy."You know I live around here."

"Yeah, but where? At least tell us the city."

"If I tell you guys, do you promise not to tell?"

"Of course, Bizzie, we're your friends!" Bizzie quickly glanced around to see that no one else was listening, not taking notice of the suspicious looking device next to her.

"I live in Canadia," she whispered.

"Duh, we all live in Canada!" Jeffy shouted, "Where else would we live?"

"Whatever," whispered Bizzie, "I'm from Canadia, Ontario, Canada."

"How long till the math fair, Mad Cat?" Dr. Claw asked his pet cat.

"Meow," said Mad Cat.

"Excellent," said Dr. Claw, "We're sure to win for the 15th year in a row. I think this year I'm going to do our project on unnatural logarithms.

"Dr. Claw, Dr. Claw!" One of Dr. Claw's Mad Agents came running in frantically. "We have an emergency!"

"What is it?"

"Well, it turns out there's a girl named Bizzie Lizzie who's planning on doing something really extraordinary about pi at the math fair!"

"Curses!" cried Dr. Claw as he slammed his fist against his desk.

"What should we do, Dr. Claw?"

"We'll have to eliminate her. Where does she live?"

"She said she lives in Canadia, but she appears to be unlisted in the phone book AND the school directory."

"Well...what grade is she in?"

"Nobody knows, sir. She takes 12th grade English, 11th grade Spanish, 10th grade math and 9th grade botany!"

"What?"

"Turns out she has bad allergies"

"Oh, well... who are her friends?"

"I've seen her with people from different grades, sir, and they take courses in different grades as well."

"You say Lizzie's her last name?"

"Well, no. Rumor has it she's too paranoid to tell anyone what it really is, sir.

"AHHHHHHHHH! You don't know where she lives, what grade she's in, or what her last name is?"

"No, but she's very easy to spot, sir."

"Oh?" Dr. Claw began to calm down, "Why's that?"

"She's a redhead."

"I should have known we were dealing with superior life form," he mumbled.

"What should we do, sir?"

"It's that hair that gives her power, we'll have to dye it purple!"

"Why purple, sir?"

"Because I said so! Now go, and come back with every piece of information you have on this Bizzie girl."

"Yes sir, Dr. Claw." The Mad Agent ran out of Dr. Claw's secret office.

"Soon, Mad Cat," Dr. Claw told Mad Cat he stroked the cat's fur, "Soon we will take over all math fairs! Wha hahahahaha!"
